Toxicant reduction technologies and target toxicants

Technology Cigarette component Description Target toxicants
Tobacco substitute sheet (TSS) Blend Glycerol dilution technology Whole smoke; additional selectivity volatile phenols
Blend treated tobacco (BTT) Blend Protease treated extracted tobacco Phenolics and nitrogen-based constituents
High activity carbon (HAC) Filter Polymer-derived (synthetic), spherical carbon beads Vapour-phase constituents
Amine functionalised resin Filter Amine group functionalised resin (CR20D) Hydrogen cyanide, volatile acids, and carbonyls
Triethyl citrate Filter Filter tow plasticiser Volatile phenols
Split-tipping (ST) Filter Ventilation technology; provides an extended ventilation zone Gases and vapour-phase constituents; reduced overall exposure
